Vaginal steaming is a useful self-care tool for supporting gynecological and reproductive health.

Yoni steaming

Steaming is a wonderful self-care tool that allows women to regain control of their own bodies and their gynaecological and reproductive health, especially after having unsuccessfully pursued conventional medical pathways. It’s also an excellent way to become more in tune with one’s inner wisdom and as a means of learning to listen to the body.

What is Vaginal Steaming?

Vaginal steaming, also known as yoni steaming or perineal steaming, is a type of gynaecological phytotherapy that has been performed for centuries in many parts of the world and has become popular in the last decade due to its many benefits for women and their reproductive systems.

Several historical, social, political, racial and patriarchal factors have contributed to keep this amazing alternative healing modality hidden for centuries by undervaluing and underestimating its power and effectiveness.

Vaginal Steaming

The practice has been recorded in native communities in South, Central and North America, the Pacific Islands, Vietnam, and West and East Africa.

In South Korean spas it is offered as a self-care treatment, and in the Czech Republic it is used in the maternity ward of hospitals as part of routine non-invasive procedures offered to women in labour.

The basic principle of vaginal steaming is to place the uncovered perineal area above a steaming pot of specially selected herbs for a set length of time, depending on the user’s needs.

Steaming promotes and improves circulation in the pelvic area and thus contributes to the optimal functioning of the reproductive organs. It is a natural and easy method to apply at home as part of women’s health maintenance.
